Years Served: Aug 71 – Decom…The first of many ships that I served aboard. But she was by far the greatest adventure of my life and the beginning of a 26 yr career. Like that first piece of tail, you’ll never forget a second of the experience :wink: Msg to Bill Oster: e-mail me at djkleaver@gmail.com. Would like to hear from you. And by the way, that booze truck that came to the ship was probably for you!!!
Years Served: may66 to nov67…good trip around the world plus time in shipyard at subic bay
Years Served: 1971 to decomissioning…Last Tin Can from 71 t0 decom. Was CMAA, steamed with HMC Doc Bailey. No better way to see the world than on a can . Lots of great memories from Norway and Hamburg,Germany stops. Anybody remember the Reeperbaum street in Hamburg? Spent 3 months attached to SNS Churruca (formerly USS E.A.Greene) Man, did those guys love to drink!!! The booze supply truck was at the ship more often than the fuel barge. Hope to hear from some old shipmates and swap some lies (sea stories) .
Greetings!
PN3 P. Rowe here!
Great site and remember those of you that have posted that served aboard Eugene A. Greene (DD-711) during the Deployment to Viet Nam 1966 – 1 June – 17 December 1966. Our Destroyer Squadron was the third Squadron deployed from the Atlantic Fleet to support USA operations in and around Viet Nam.
Have been reviewing our cruise book recently. Great memories indeed!
All the BEST to those who have served and to those currently servicing our Great Nation!

I was an MM3 in the engine room. Proud to be a member of the the crew of the Greene from ‘64 – ‘68. I had many good friends and so happy to hear from Kanuse I was in a Navy uniform and a ‘35 Chevy for this years Veteran’s Day parade as past commander of VFW POST 128. Everything that you allposted brought back fond memories of the 40 countries I visited. Closing with a salute to the members of the Greene.
